Evening, Shooting Incident occurred here with multiple casualties. In the city lewiston. Police are currently searching for a robert our car. Four for 1983. Hes considered armed and dangerous. Hes A Person Of Interest however and that is what we will label at moving forward. Until that changes. If people see him they should not approach or make contact with him in any way. Lets talk now with cnn security correspondent josh campbell. I will lean in early to your fbi shops as well because your experience is so vital right now is an ongoing manhunt. We do not know where this suspect is. Weve been told where he is. This is a very fluid situation and everybody is trying to assess people injured. Tell me about this identification of A Person Of Interest. How significant is this now . Its interesting, because for a period of time that went by, authorities were not releasing the name of the suspect or identifiers. Cctv footage where he allegedly opened fire inside of the Bowling Alley. You can see him there with a rifle. What is called a magazine. It contraption in the weapon that holds any ammunition. A large capacity magazine. Meaning this individual potentially had a lot of ammunition. Where suspects will bring additional rounds of ammunition. We know with that number of victims. At least 22 people who were killed. Numerous others were injured. This is somebody who appeared to have been intent on causing mass loss of life. At this hour we certainly do not know the motive. Why allegedly he targeted these two particular areas. But as mentioned this man is now underway. Cnn is learning there multiple now involved. Main please, federal government involved as well. Ill call bureau of Tobacco Firearms and explosives, the atf bringing resources. To try to identify a suspect based on the open itself. We now have identification. Finally i will point out again at this hour we do not know the motive but sources are telling our colleague john milley that this suspect who was a firearms instructor. In the u. S. Military and army reserve had at some point reported Mental Health issues. Allegedly indicating ewers hearing voices. He was committed to some type of institution for assessment. So a lot of questions at this hour about what happened. After that period of assessment where there are people in his orbit who might have seen additional lingering issues. Allegedly had made threats against a National Guard facility. So still a lot of questions about the motive but that brings us to where we are at this point in time. A massive manhunt authorities spanning out across the new england area looking for the suspect. Of course weve seen laura you and i have covered so many of these incidents and they typically will and in three possible ways. The suspect decides to take his own life, the suspect is engaged Milan Forsman and is taken into custody or killed. In the suspect is eventually this man continues. So were still waiting to hear and see what happens here. Obviously this is an area that has been in a state of lockdown. A state of fear. Authorities have asked residents to shelter in place. In a state of complete and total shock. Nobody thinks that this is going to happen where they are. You are hearing about, we had one person earlier on who was an eyewitness to being outside the Bowling Alley. Said that she shocked children coming out of the Bowling Alley. Some sort of a family night was happening. A daughter, a girl scout trying to make sense of what she is seeing. Im interested in particular on the committee made about the atfs involvement. We are looking at those still frames there from points in time, you identified clothing. Those cargo pants as one way that people will store additional ammunition. People have been focusing on the gun its self being used. When the atf is involved, how are they going to be trying to identify and locate and track who that person is. Based on seeing the weapon . The atf specifically has incredible capabilities and resources in order to gather intelligence from the weapon. Whenever you fire a rifle like this or any gun. The boat comes at the end, but the shell casing is ejected. Sadly we have seen because of the level of gun violence in this country, the atf has gotten really good at being able to look at those Shell Casings to try to identify the individual mark. Something like a fingerprint, that a firing pin lives on the ammunition to try to track back. Was this a weapon authorities were aware of . That oftentimes helps lead to the identity of the suspect. That has all occurred. Trying to gather information about the suspect. We know they have identified a vehicle. That would help them try to get the identification. So they felt comfortable providing the name of this suspect. And now this point is really trying about locating where he might be. Theres a physical search effort happening. We have assets on the ground. We know helicopters have been brought in. To try to scour the area. Maybe getting it into difficult. Laura weve seen time and again authorities will literally go to door to door. Along a road of travel looking for surveillance footage. At residences, businesses trying to identify where this suspect was traveling to. We know long freeways, there are also License Plate readers trying to get a sense of where this individual might be. The last thing ill point out now. Now that theyve indeed provided the identification of the, it tells us they are then trying to identify relatives, to identify friends. We know because of, as we were reporting earlier. Mental Health Issues the suspect allegedly had in the past. Ill pause real quickly to say because its so important. We know vast majority of people in these countries who have Mental Health issues do not go on to commit violence. So we do not want to stigmatize. That put this is important because authorities will want to talk to this individual to determine what is the State Of Mind. Ive gone through individual episodes. Moving into a State Of Mind. They want a peaceful resolution. With him now accused, high powered assault rifle. Authorities would certainly be on edge but they are hoping to get this peaceful resolution. The first have to find him. But they will gather as much as they can and his State Of Mind as they try to apprehend him. Every morsel of information that could give inside to the Law Enforcement could be invaluable. Josh, please stick around and keep giving us the information we are really eager to have. Now former Baltimore Police commissioner Michael Harrison who is here with us tonight. One of the things that was mentioned, the different areas you are going to look for and trying to get into this persons past. Social media might be a place. Any notion of a manifesto or anything like that. Let me ask you about how wide a net would be cast to find this particular person of interest. Thank you for having me when we first offer my condolences to all of the victims of these horrific incident. I think that the net is pretty wet. It could be nationally or internationally. Considering how close to canada this location is. Its gonna be local, state federal resources all working together in coordinating, communicating and collaborating. To figure number one, kind of know who this person is. But where has he been . What has he done. I am very concerned. Ive heard the previous commentator the last colors. Talking about his ability to create harm. A training would leave him to anticipate a Police Approach. The Tactics Police would used to try to track it out behind him. Which would lend him to probably have a measure of a defensive maneuver. Is invasive maneuvers. Further exacerbates the problem. So i think everything some table. Especially a digital profile. Looking at what you might have communicated with. How far back does that communication go . Who wouldve inspired him to do this. In his planning of the. Because it took some planning. So true. These are not places that are kitty corner to one another. It requires attention to travel from point a to point b to point c. Perhaps point d. A very important point. That notion of being proactive in trying to commit additional crimes. This is A Person Of Interest. The commissioner is very clear. They are not calling the person a suspect at this time. Weve seen picture, person of interests. Pictures of the car as well. When you have that combination. Being provided by Law Enforcement, what can you glean right now . I have to join the previous commentators. Spending a confrontation with Law Enforcement. Self inflicted would. That could possibly end his own life. But in looking at the photo, i heard john miller talk about the likelihood he had more ammunition. He had enough ammunition to commit a high number of fatalities and injury. That might lead to even more fatalities. I think he has enough ammunition to do that again. And we should anticipate that. The Police Approach is very important. It should be very systematic. And it will be carefully planning coordinated by local, state and federal agencies. Went far beyond this one state of maine. But this could last for days on end and we hope it doesnt but we should be prepared for this to last days on end. Because we know that this person likely has a skill set to survive and sustain himself through what could last beyond one news cycle or police tour of duty. This is something we will be watching closely. Ill mention one additional point raised by the commissioner of public safety. At that Press Conference we heard a few moments ago. That he would not rule or did not say whether they believed this was one person of interest or others were involved. Seems that theyre having a single focus on this person of interest. We might give comfort to people. But the Investigation Continues in the manhunt is underway. Standby everyone. Because its a very urgent manhunt underway. Right now, for all of the reasons we describe tonight. After a tragic night in lewiston maine. Cnn special live coverage. More on breaking this type of man. So the officials telling us that at least 22 people have been killed in two separate Mass Shootings. One at a restaurant. In other had a Bowling Alley. There is a massive manhunt underway right now. 4 of interest whos named robert card. Andrew mccabe is back with me now. Andy, when you look at what has happened right now. And this is in me. So one of the first questions that people will ask is whether a person was known to authorities. We learned from john miller that this person was a military reservist. But the gun laws, and the type of weapon being used here. Thats the second question. What are the gun laws in maine. Whats the weapon you are seeing in any of these still photos able to be lawfully used in that state . Obviously not for criminal purpose. That is right. Its entirely likely the weapon you see in this photo can be lawfully owned in the state of maine. A weapon is likely an ar15 or similar variant. High powered assault style weapon. Maine does not have a traditional Background Check Requirement beyond the federal requirements that are imposed upon federally licensed firearms. Maine also does not have a what we refer to as a red flag law. Where some states call it an extreme risk law. The laws enable Family Members or Law Enforcement to take firearms away from people who seem to be an extreme risk of hurting themselves or others. For instance, if this person of interest was actually recently in a psychiatric facility undergoing evaluation. Thats the sort of situation that could give rise to somebody working under a red flag law to remove the persons guns for some period of time. May does not have those lost so that could not happen here. We also know that main does not have a concealed carry permit requirement. Which basically means if youve lawfully purchased a fire. Hannah, long gun. Its harder to conceal a long gun but if you have a handgun you can carry handgun without a special permit to do so. So it is a pretty easy state it seems to purchase and use firearms. We know maine also has a long history of shooting sports. And junta, and out door culture in maine. So conservator prevalent. I think some of the witnesses. If you have the witnesses weve identified on the air this evening. Some mention that as soon as they heard the shelter in place rule. They grabbed and guns and rifles and look at those weapons. So it is a part of the culture of me. Juliet, i know you wanted to weigh in. Adding on these laws andrew has aligned. Perhaps one of the most striking. Are the red flag laws. Maternal available in maine particularly given the reporting that this person has had some sort of Mental Health evaluation. Perhaps earlier this year or over a multi weeks period. Whats your thought on all of this . You we were hearing at first, go ahead, repeat that again . Maine has some of the most permissive laws when it comes to guns ownership. Acquisition, background checks, red flag laws. It is essentially sort of akin to texas. Part of that is exactly as andy was saying, the culture of guns which is often related to hunting. So you are unlikely to find that he unlawfully had these weapons. These are lawfully purchased weapons. Allowed to be purchased in may. Who remember also his background. We know some of his back. That he is a firearms instructor. He will be familiar with these guns. Hes going to be familiar with how the killer without getting shot himself. And its sort of discussed in the narratives we often think well that is often told that in more Armed Culture will be safer i think maine is unfortunately sort of an example now where even people who had guns, youre just not able to anticipate or to protect yourself when you are up against the kind of weaponry that just kills so quickly. That is why so many people in Law Enforcement are against these kinds of rifles. Because it is not guns generally, although some people would like. Its a gun that two things cannot happen. One, you cannot protect the public. They are simply you, are there, you are at the end of if your shot you are likely to be killed. And that is even if you are armed. It is very hard to react because the gun works so quickly. The other is, and we saw this today. That they capacity for Law Enforcement to stop it is almost minimal. Because all the color needs is 234 minutes and hes back in his car. Hes already killed how many people and now on to thet. Which long forsman is now all rushing into the first place. So there will be a discussion about gun laws in maine. But his access to the gun laws. There ought to be a discussion on political, just sort of here is a horrible horrible day. What can we do. The number of people were dead. Whatever the number is. Its one too many. The numbers we are hearing are close to 20 right now. We should be having this discussion. Most, nations do not have killings like this. It strikes me on two fronts. One of the Law Enforcement who are trying to hone in and identify. Finding this persons location. And bring him into custody. What they are up against. What you might have. Second part is the trauma. Ill go there next. I want to turn to the hospitals. Lets listen live mayors speaking. Something like this does not just get solved overnight. But weve had a really strong community. Weve overcome a lot. People come. The relief. Its really relief if you think about it. This is a happier place right now. In the entire area, this is a Reunification Center. Witnesses just saw traumatic events. Theyre coming together with family and loved ones who are worried to death about. Them they are coming together. Off the side of the happiness, youre seeing turmoil. And the trauma they are going to. Lets keep, in the uk understand. Cant describe it quite frankly. You can feel empathy for them. Centralized location. Clearing the scenes. Once everything was settled. It needs to happen. Investigation is an investigation. Another mass Shooting Incidents, the reunification point. A loved one comes to the tragic realization that the relative didnt make. It has enables interactions taking place here today . Yes. Ill leave it at that. Whats the sort of process of the hospitals theyre working to connect one more people . Ive not talked to the hospital directors. They are busy. We all need to respect the. Theyre working with known victims right now. Whether its casualties or fatalities, and they will work through that process. Your appropriate guidance Mental Health. Trained professionals here, cultures. Trained in crisis response. How long can we expect this honor to be open . Intelligence. Dont anything . Thank you very much. Just hearing from the mayor of melbourne main. Closure of public safety. Auburn mills. Reunification center for families looking to find their loved ones. Weve learned tonight from the mayor of albany, the location is open. Families whove learned the fate of their loved ones. Including knit died in killed in this incident. Churches and other entities. Trained to help those families. When this is involved. So long for some contributor. Steve moore is with us now. Weve learned sadly for some people, hoping to reunify. Have now learned the fate of their loved ones. This horrible circumstance, kobe will what disappeared Fixation Process would be like an essential like this . It can be extremely traumatizing. For everyone involved. Because a bunch of people are getting tremendous news. And they are seeing and having their tearful reunions and thanking god a lot. Get
